First metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint fusion, or arthrodesis, has been a cornerstone treatment for advanced joint degeneration since the 1950s, benefiting not only older patients but also younger individuals. The procedure boasts favorable long-term outcomes and a low rate of revision when fusion is successful. However, complications such as interphalangeal arthritis may occur, and nonunion or malunion can necessitate revision. While the first MTP fusion provides significant relief, its applicability varies, underscoring the need for careful patient selection.
